A NOTE: i dont know why this is causing such a controversy: calling millennials cringe. OBVIOUSLYYYYY i dont mean all millennials duh... i literally never mean an over arching generalization when i talk about a group of people - it's a simple way of talking but just because other can be so narrow minded about an entire group of people doesn't mean i do (that's a weird projection and i dont want any part of that) plus i am specifically talking about how cringe some millennial authors can be in books and it's just a certain flavor of milllenialness that stands out literally any generation can be cringe what are you even trying to fight me about!!!!! by being upset enogh to comment is proving my point about cringe millennials aaaaaaaaa

[@Stella-fc7tc]

@@katherinekaras the thing with making videos is that it's easy to be misinterpreted if you aren't careful with how you phrase things. You say "obviously" but how exactly is it obvious if you don't clarify it?? Anyway, thanks for making it clear now. It was obviously an unlucky moment.

[@kb-ih7ni]

I made the comment in your previous video, but I also wasn't fighting you about it. I was actually laughing about the absurdity of it all - millennial-ness becoming such a thing that it's got such bad connotations now. I also don't think it started much of a controversy, just a conversation, and a pretty isolated one at that amidst all the positive comments. People in your community are pretty calm, me included, so no need to feel so attacked, because you aren't. Sorry I made you feel bad about it!

[@333thelc]

You're babbling and you're "rood"...(and how do you call anyone cringe when you spell rude like this). Are you new at life or something? I thought you were 20s not 12. When you're bitchy and you're not clear in what you say people will react "duh". If bitchy is going to be your style own it and don't whine when people comment

[@Kiyoooooo]

I love these videos so much! currently on my period and this is well needed!!! :D

[@trinajenkins8486]

Ditto

[@celsnacho]

I love having you as companyyy so much❤

[@fede.journal]

Loved watching this one, the shots of the city and the market were so beautiful. As always the music was perfect, your taste is immaculate 🌟

[@katarinaur415]

Love your videos, they are like a warm hug during the cold seasons 🫶✨

[@cd21999]

such a random comment but seeing you with the nct 127 sticker tshirt brings back memories.. i started watching you in 2020 when your content had lots of kpop related bits and tbh you made being a kpop stan cool in my eyes. I only started stanning kpop groups at the beginning of 2023 and my favorite group is Stray Kids and i'm always thinking about your vlog when you went to see them!!

[@alishas4496]

I found the lights out audiobook so funny! i had a blast😅

[@Joysbooknook]

I think where i live in the Philippines christmas eve is so special and the most magical because we stay up until 12 am for Christmas and usually Christmas day when i was a kid we go to our godfather and godmother and ask for money and they give money to us in a red envelope 🤭

[@TheGrimmReader]

As a millennial, I think some of us have forgotten how cringe we considered our elders. Like, it’s just part of the circle of life- I’m now the weird outdated auntie at the party and I’m fine with that 😂

[@nicolinasurel]

Nah. We were bullied by the older generations if we said anything bad about them being cringe because we didn't serve in whatever war or lived through the murder of Tupac and the death of Kurt Cobain. Or Elvis, if it was a Boomer dishing the hate. Because the vitriol traumatized us, we didn't bully Gen Z as they were coming up, even though we were blamed in the media for the 'Tide Pod' incident. Now Gen Z bullies us. 🤷‍♀

[@myocoree]

my family usually does one present to open on christmas eve and its usually jewelry or something random and then the rest of the presents on christmas day

[@caitlincolbert5426]

I recently found your videos, and I just wanna let you know how much they've comforted me through this dark time in my life. Thank you 🤎

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Okay the packaging of the wild fairytale is SO CUTE

[@lineaesthetic]

Today I had to go out but I was so discouraged to see daylight and people that I'm catching up on your videos. You're so sweet that I wanted to be your friend 💜✨

[@Ash95_12]

So cozyyy!! Just caught up to all of your recent vids and they were so needed

[@13n115]

lmao I was NOT expecting you to say lights out 😭😭

[@user-zp2bv4cp5u]

42 minutes!? Heck yeah!!!!

[@kyra8138]

Sitting down watching this eating homemade chicken stew and a slice of bread, about to go shower and read for the night. How very Katherine Karas of me.

[@jazminabigailp]

I love your videos!!!! The moment you said "Lights Out," I was like, Ooooo good. I need your thoughts because I'm wondering if I should read it. Side note... I needed these cozy vibes!!!

[@bluzybooks4185]

Totally agree about Lights out…. The mmc is somehow stalkeř annndd golden retriever😂 so entertaining and well written for what it is!!

[@aahanaTk4ever]

Thank you for the update queen ❤

[@LadyOboro]

The coat you got for your birthday looks great! Where did you get it from?

[@kamimarinho]

I'm not asking for a bookshelf tour, but can you please show your shelves someday? just a overview

[@katherinekaras]

i will! i just always forget or the lighting is bad but i shall get to it!

[@missesmaree]

"..or who they appear to be in the kingdom of vinerththth" same girl, same 🤣

[@ylianaisreading]

every clip about contemporary books had me crying T-T

[@melodrama17331]

omg a long video of festive nyc😍😍😍

[@Bubw33]

I moved off the reservation to fulfill my dreams of living in the city halfway across the country. I buy myself presents and my parents send me gifts. It's still not the same though.

[@inkfleurstudio]

I don’t understand millennials who take such extreme offense to, “Millennial cringe” 😂it’s literally not that big a deal. My sibs are all gen z and they make fun of me all day. But like, I am the older sister they are supposed to go from being, “I have the coolest big sister” when they young to being like, “Omg can you be anymore cringe” when they’re older😂 isn’t that just normal?We did the same to gen x. Oh I cannot do the modern pop culture references it drives me crazy🤣the minute I see it the book is sent back.

[@katherinekaras]

see you get it like why are people so upset!

[@Triple_Cripple]

Where is the black crewneck knit in the later parts from? It’s so cute and cozy!

[@spinecollector9931]

Just placed an order! Would be cool if you could do some sort of prints for the time when you went camping in that cabin

[@grff_]

I'm a Christmas eve gift opener😅 I think it started bc i was really desperate for gifts at home since we open the ones at my grandma's on the 24th after dinner

[@nicolinasurel]

Lights Out Audio Narration has me snickering while I'm walking in the park. How did those talented voice actors pull that off? 😅

[@ExLibris-Alys]

Jacob Morgan (aka Zachary Webber) is the voice actor that narrates the male part of Lights Out. I think his voice is so nice too and have listened to a few books read by him. They’ve all been a bit fruity and fairly explicit though 🤭

[@Elfs_Tears_Society]

oh dear where do you get this beautiful music for your video background from?? I love your aesthetic so much, your videos gave me the last kick i needed to start my own chanel. You probably read that every day or every week, but its just true. I love your content so much. I would prefere if all things you say would have not automatic subtitles because youtube (and any media) is hoooorrible with automatic subtitles T.T

[@amanduhreads]

Hey ✨ I’m visiting a city next week that has a Popmart store! I’m treating myself to my first blind box, what’s your favourite Hirono series?

[@caaarnivorium]

as soon as you started talking about it (i also had to give my husband a long intro to it lol) i was thinking "no way shes about to mention this book." and then you did lol. i feel the same way about it. was not expecting to have as much fun as I'm having reading it! Also, i totally get what you mean about millennialisms in contemporary books. im a baby millennial so im stuck between thinking my elder millenneals are cringe, but still being cringe myself to younger generations 😭

[@Mysticbarbie_]

Thanks for sharing 🖤

[@HayanDaily]

Ok, my beautiful girl is here 😍😍🕸🖤

[@MrsP-nh4xp]

I don't about my other fellow millennials, but I'm just feeling old and tired at this stage of life.😅 Who even cares about what people are saying about millennials. We all come to watch Karas talk about books, go to coffee shops and let us tag along with her on adventures.

[@laurenburgel1560]

are we able to follow you on Goodreads?

[@LaNonita00]

Christmas Eve present opener 🙋‍♀️ I don't know anyone in my country who opens them in the morning. The morning is traditionally for decorating the tree, but more and more ppl set up their tree earlier nowadays (me incl). Our presents are also brought by the baby Jesus

[@ChristianGreyth]

☠ crazy how the shooting you mentioned turned out to be the "NYC Assasin"! Stay safe Kat!!

[@katherinekaras]

right! that was all the day it happened and i really went on social media to see lol

check your vitamin D levels

…and iron levels too

[@raveenasplaylists9396]

As your millennial subscriber, Im very confused by what you said about millennials being cringe? 🌝

[@douloureux.]

What’s confusing about it? You can’t deny there are some cringe writers out there. But she’s kinda saying it like every book millennials write is cringe

[@raveenasplaylists9396]

@douloureux. Well that's a bit harsh in my opinion.

[@douloureux.]

@@raveenasplaylists9396 so you weren’t confused, you could have just said that

[@katherinekaras]

@@douloureux. "so you weren’t confused, you could have just said that" so rood, clearly u explained it and they are responding to your explanation waaaaaatttt

[@samlstowell]

That sounds like low blood sugar.

[@SamanthaLuv-x3b]

As a zillennial, I'm not offended by the cringe comment lol. Every generation has cringey stuff. Before skibbiddi toilet there was stuff like Charlie the unicorn, Fred and annoying orange.

[@Stella-fc7tc]

"millennials can't use today's lingo"?? Whatever....

[@katherinekaras]

i didnt say that
